  • Patent number: 9766884
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for evaluating source code developers. One of the methods includes receiving, from a user, a request for a user interface presentation representing an overall performance metric versus a second metric attributed to each responsible entity of a plurality of responsible entities that contributed source code to a project. A user interface presentation is generated, wherein each responsible entity is represented by a graphical element at a position in a display area, the position of the element having one coordinate corresponding to the first measure of the overall contributions contributed by the responsible entity and another coordinate corresponding to the second measure of the second metric attributed to the responsible entity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9305279
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for ranking developers. One of the methods includes obtaining data representing a plurality of developer actions for a developer, obtaining a net violation baseline for the code base, wherein the net violation baseline represents a measure of violation introductions compared to violation removals by a typical high-productivity developer of the code base, obtaining a developer action baseline for the code base, the developer action baseline representing a number of developer actions for the typical high-productivity developer of the code base. A net violation value and a developer action value are computed for the developer. A score is computed for developer including comparing the sum of the net violation value and the net violation baseline to the sum of the developer action value and the developer action baseline. The developer is ranked relative to other developers by the score.
